Cottage holiday rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Peaceful stay right in the trees! This was such an epic Airbnb - so cozy and homey while also being very well equipped with everything you need. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and the spa was such a bonus. Stayed 3 nights here and wish I could have stayed longer - would definitely stay again if in the area. Mark was very kinda and quick to respond.

What a stunning location., located straight next to one of the best urban walkways in the country. Hosts were great so friendly loved Lou the dog she was so lovely too. the views keep you entertained for the whole.time, no TV was needed at all we will definitely be back

Lovely place to stay and perfect to come back to after a full day hike.

We had a great stay at Nicolette’s place, the view was amazing and it was so nice sitting in the hot tub looking at that view! I’d recommend a walk in Atiu Regional Park which is a 5 minute drive away - it has the same stunning views you can see from the property. Nicolette was very responsive and because nobody was checking in the next day kindly let us check out a little bit later We’d definitely stay again

Such a relaxing stay. Hot tub was a perfect place to unwind and watch the stars. Very peaceful and private! The place has very thing you need for a comfortable and cozy stay. Would recommend to anyone! We are excited to visit again :)

We had a fabulous time staying in Michele's cottage. It was beautifully presented, the breakfast was delicious and the bed was comfortable. Wish we had more time so that we could have made use of the outdoor bath. Michele was very friendly and gave us good recommendations for dinner. Thank you so much for having us.

Lovely place. My team were very happy staying there. Great communication from the hosts. Thanks so much. A+

Absolutely amazing stay at the lodge. The home was tidy, homely and peaceful. Loved having a spa and watching the cattle . The hosts were amazing with communication and going that little bit extra to make sure we felt right at home! Recommend this place a high 10/10 from us we will be back !

Great accommodation for our getaway up North. We visited the local cafe which was walkable and had a great experience. If in the area again, we’d be back! Thank you, Lisa!!

Stayed 4 nights, so glad we stayed the extra night. Had all the essentials plus more. Extremely comfortable beds, spotlessly clean throughout, delicious home made bread, lovely fully fenced garden and appreciated being able to take our little dogs (they also had a great holiday). Close walk to the beach and lovely to listen to the waves at night. Very peaceful and private and fantastic hosts that go above and beyond to create a wonderful stay. Easy access to the cottage and was a bonus being able to park under the carport. We’re already looking forward to our next stay.

Great spot on the hill with views down to the caves, well set up and the deck overlooking the fruit tree was really nice.

Great wee Bach. Clean and tidy with everything we needed. Nice outdoor areas. Kai Iwi beach fantastic to explore. Lots to do in Whanganui. Enjoyed our stay. Hope to come back and enjoy beach in summer.

We stayed a night on our way homes d it was perfect for that. Easy to find, very clean. Fab for our wee poodle as well

Gayle's place is beautiful and secluded. Great private deck to relax and enjoy Harbour view. A short drive to Tutukaka marina which was convenient for our diving trip. We had one small problem with hot water and Gayle resolved it super quickly after messaging her. A great host, and very responsive with messages.

The house provided us a peaceful retreat from the city. Our family and friends enjoyed a pleasant stay from Paul’s lovely house! Highly recommended :)

The cottage was packed with character, you could imagine the fun families had there in the past. It was decorated to celebrate the history of the cottage and the area. The beds were comfortable, great laundry and bathroom. A wonderful social area. If you like a typical bach to stay in, this is perfect. Jo-Ann greeted us when we arrived and was very helpful. We will be back.

Highly recommend. Views are awesome. The home was spotless clean. I have traveled and have always wanted to see the milky way and been disappointed. I saw it our 1st night which was clear. We had a pair of binoculars as well and it was amazing

Loved our weekend stay at Tanya's beautiful cottage. The place had everything we needed, as well as a stunning view that was enjoyed while relaxing on the deck. Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy the golf course due to tired legs after a weekend of cycling on incredible local roads. Maybe next time. Tanya was super responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Fabulous space if only we were able to stay longer unfortunately it was a last minute one night stay. We didn’t get to enjoy the wonderful garden.

Lisa has a beautiful and a peaceful place, I’ll definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

We loved the cottage ,it was very relaxing and enjoyable,would definitely stay there again

Our night away was amazing. The location was absolutely stunning, nestled between olive groves, the place was even better than the photos. It had everything we needed and more. Just a short walk to the reserve, where we could take the kayaks across to a peaceful, quiet beach. The house itself was warm, cozy, and beautifully set up. Jo was incredibly accommodating and made everything easy. We’d absolutely come back!

Lovely location and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Heater kept us warm.perfect location for Whakapapa

We spent a wonderful long weekend in Shona's cute little cottage! The surrounding landscapes were gorgeous, we were visited but a lot of lovely birds. From the little fireplace to the outdoor bath with a view, recommended takeaway pizza, cute memorabilia and privacy and quiet of the place, I got everything I needed from this weekend away before our baby comes. we even took some beautiful maternity photos around the garden! Thank you Shona for this little slice of heaven :)
